a couple of curios

Hi.


Right you are, and this (the dictionary does say that "of" is a synonym of "in") works as well.



on mouseUp

  local tmp

  put "do " into tmp
  put "what?" after of of in in of in tmp -- !!!!!
  put tmp
end mouseUp
Weird...
This is not at all possible with something like:
 put "woops" onto into tmp

While reviewing some old scripts that have been in regular use but not
actually edited for some time I came across:

put ".js" after in jsfname

And was surprised it compiled but it does, it even works

on mouseUp
  local tmp

  put "do " into tmp
  put "what?" after in tmp
  put tmp
end mouseUp

## Output = "do what?"

Maybe "in" is being ignored by the compiler as a bit of "superfluous
cosmetic english"

############

And also the construct:

put "string" onto var

Not totally surprised that it compiles, but it surprised me to find that
it actually works:

on mouseUp
  local tmp

  put "safe" into tmp
  put "woops" onto tmp
  put tmp
end mouseUp

>> Produces "woops"
